A Favorite Chinese Sport.

"We have cricket fighting with little
black bugs" said Chinaman to Il
Cincinnati Enquirer reporter. ''It's
rare sport. The bugs are caught in
hills by pouring water in their holes
or putting a fruit called dragons eye
in front of the hole. The best fighters
are those that chirp the loudest. They
keep them in earthen pots with a little
water and some mold, and feed them
on two kinds of fish, man-yu and kut-
yu. They are fed on honey to give
them strength, and for two hours the
female is put in with the male" )"
"How do you fight them?'
I'm pit or tub called lip, and they
are matched according to size and
color. They bet very heavy on them
sometimes, and when cricket has
won many victories he is called Shon-
lip, and if it dies they put it in small
silver coffin and bury it. Its owner
thinks this brings good luck and that
good fighting crickets will be found in
the neighborhood where the cricket ia
baried."

A Coming Boom in Gold

A gold boomer who thinks he knows
what he is talking about, said to a
Jevelry Neacs reporter recently 'There
is no doubt about the extension of
gold-mining interests on the Pacific
Coast within the past year. Il has
been a steady growth, based on a
more solid foundation than the old
mining excitement and feVers. There
is a near prospect of big mining
boom of different type from any
thing the country has ever seen. 1t
will be based ON business PRINCIPLES
and solid foundations. It will come
about through the middle or low
grade ores. whose value can be as
definitely ascertained as coal or iron.
1t is profitable now to take out ore
that yields Soto -SS a ton. Invention
in maehinery has done that, and made
mining more like manufacturing: The
whole coast will be worked over for
free-miiiing quartz of this grade, and
it will make mining lively, but the ae-
tivity viii be solid and substantial in
its foundations.
